Arrangement for conveying dust-like bulk goods, particularly cement, by means of suction and pressure
First Claim
1. An arrangement for transferring dust-like bulk goods, particularly cement, from an unloading location, such as a ship, to a silo, the arrangement comprising a receiving container, the receiving container comprising a plurality of telescopically extendable container segments, the container segments including a top container segment and a bottom container segment, a negative pressure producing apparatus for continuously supplying the bulk goods being connected to the receiving container, a screw-type pump mounted at the bottom container segment for continuously discharging the bulk goods from the receiving container, such that the bulk goods travel through the receiving container by gravity, and a positive pressure producing apparatus for conveying the bulk goods from the screw-type pump to the silo, wherein all components of the arrangement are mounted on a road-travelling vehicle.

Abstract
An arrangement for transferring bulk goods from ships into silos by means of suction and pressure conveyance. The arrangement includes a suction conveying line with suction nozzle to be placed in the ship and leading to a lock-type receiving container. A pressure-conveying line leads from the container to the silo. A screw-type pump is provided at the bottom of the container for continuously feeding the material to the pressure conveying line. The material travels through the container by gravity. The receiving container includes container segments which are arranged so as to be telescopically extendable. All components of the arrangement are mounted on a road-travelling vehicle. During operation, the segments of the container are extended. During travel, the container segments are slid into each other.
